9. Cut a section of suede cord. Place both ends together, making a loop at the other end. Insert that loop into top of ring, wrap it over, & place the two strands into the loop, & pull tight. Knot the other end of the strands. This will be the hanger for your dream catcher.
10. Repeat the previous steps to make the dangles that feathers & beads go on, only don't knot the strand ends. Place the first strands on the opposite end as the hanging strand. Then place other two strands on either side of the middle strand.
11. Place two pony beads on each strand of cord.
12. Put a drop of glue on suede cord, were you want the feathers to hang. Pull one of the beads down, over the glue spot.
13.Choose two feathers for each strand. Hold them together & insert the stems into the bead. Put more glue around the bead, cord & feather. Then pull the second bead down over the stems.
14. Allow the dream catcher to dry. Trim off extra suede and any feather tips sticking out. Put more glue around beads.
there ya go... Dreamcatcher!! | |
